Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

Natural and Synthetic Rubber. VIII. Products of the Destructive Distillation of Sodium Rubber

open access: yes, 1932
The pyrolysis products of sodium rubber have been compared with those of natural rubber. They indicate that sodium rubber is isomeric with natural rubber in the positioning of its methyl groups, and that the double bond of sodium rubber differs from the ...

The viscoelastic properties of rubber under a complex loading

open access: yes, 2010
PhDThis thesis aims to explore the effect of pre-strain on the viscoelastic behaviour of rubber materials. There are various conflicting theories in the literature regarding the strain dependence and resulting anisotropy of the viscoelastic behaviour ...

Natural and Synthetic Rubber. XV. Oxygen in Rubber

open access: yes, 1936
It has been shown that natural rubber conthins oxygen, while synthetic rubber is oxygen free. This oxygen appears to be of an hydroxylic type, and its quantity corresponds to about one hydroxyl group for each one thousand isoprene units of the rubber ...
